The Prophet
The sea that calls all things unto her calls me, and I must embark. One of the best known and most translated works of free-verse poetry ever published in the English language, The Prophet, by Lebanon-born Kahlil Gibran, tells the story of the prophet Almustafa, who was banished from his homeland and who has lived the last twelve years of his life as a refugee among the good people of Orphalese. One day, as he prepares to board the ship that will take him home, Almustafa addresses a gathering of townspeople who have come to see him off. His parting words of wisdom about the human condition reveal him to be a man who sees deeply into the hearts, minds, and souls of his peers. While remaining faithful to the original text, the script adaptation by A. David Lewis provides backstory details that provide greater insight into the enigmatic main character. And the illustrations by Justin Rentería, inspired by a 1920s Ottoman style, are vibrant, authentic, and skillfully paced. Appearing exactly one hundred years after the original 1923 publication of Gibran's masterpiece, and at a time when entire groups of people are being forced to seek refuge elsewhere, this fresh and visually compelling rendering of The Prophet conveys the original work's bracing and inspirational message about what it means to live well in today's world.

Jesus the Son of Man
"Jesus the Son of Man" is a profound and poetic exploration of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, written by the celebrated author of "The Prophet", Kahlil Gibran. In this evocative work, Gibran reimagines the story of Jesus through the eyes of seventy-seven contemporaries who encountered him-friends and enemies, disciples and skeptics alike. Through these diverse perspectives, figures such as Mary Magdalen, Pontius Pilate, and various shepherds and scholars offer their intimate impressions of the Galilean, painting a vivid and multi-faceted portrait of a man who was both deeply human and transcendently divine. Written with the lyrical beauty and philosophical depth for which Gibran is renowned, the work transcends traditional religious narrative to explore universal themes of love, compassion, and the human spirit. The prose captures the majesty of the ancient landscape while focusing on the emotional and social impact of Jesus's presence on those around him. This collection of fictionalized testimonies offers readers a unique contemplative experience, blending historical atmosphere with timeless spiritual insights. "Jesus the Son of Man" remains a significant piece of 20th-century literature, inviting readers to reflect on the enduring legacy of a figure whose message continues to resonate across cultures and centuries.

Il profeta. Testo inglese a fronte
Pochi libri hanno avuto un impatto così profondo sul pubblico occidentale come Il Profeta di Gibran. Pubblicato nel 1923 a New York, il capolavoro del poeta libanese s'impose subito come una sorta di 'breviario dei laici', guadagnando fama immediata al suo autore e dando il via a quello che ancor oggi è un vero e proprio culto nei suoi confronti. I lettori identificarono il protagonista del libro con l'autore, com'egli del resto voleva. Gibran aveva infatti vestito i panni del profeta Almustafà (in arabo 'il prediletto', uno degli appellativi di Maometto) per dare maggior incisività al suo messaggio poetico-messianico, in cui sono avvertibili echi di Blake, del Nietzsche di Così parlò Zarathustra, del pensiero induista, buddhista e del misticismo islamico. Stilisticamente, Gibran subì l'influsso del romanticismo europeo e della tradizione letteraria cristiana, in particolare della Bibbia: continuamente in bilico tra il sermone e l'epigramma, tra la parabola e l'aforisma, la sua prosa poetica è ricca di similitudini e allegorie visionarie che le conferiscono uno strano fascino e una rara suggestione. Con una nota di Nicola Crocetti.

Kahlil Gibran was a Lehanese-American writer, poet and visual artist, also considered a philosopher although he himself rejected the title. Gibran disctased "such themes as religion, justice, free will, science, love, happiness, the soul, the body, and deach" in his writings, which were "characterized by innovation breaking with forms of the past, by symbolism. an ondying love for his native land, and a sentimental, melancholic yet ollten onstorical style." About his language in general (horm in Arabic and Pinglish), Salma Khadra Jayyusi remarks that "because of the spiritual and universal aspect of his general themes, he seems to have chosen a vocabulary less idiomatic than would normally have been chosen by a modern poet conscious of modemism in language." According to Jean Gibran and Kahlil G. Gibran, "Ignoring mach of the traditional vocabulary and form of classical Arabic, he began to develop a style which reflected the ordinary language he had heard as a child in Besharri and to which he was still exposed in the South End of Boston). This use of the colloquial was more a product of his isolation than of a specific intent, but it appealed to thousands of Arab immigrants,

Il profeta
"Il profeta" è il capolavoro di Gibran, un poema che celebra l'armonia e la meraviglia del mondo. Attraverso le riflessioni di al-Mustafa, il prescelto, che risponde alle domande dei suoi fedeli, l'autore affronta i grandi temi dell'esistenza: l'amore, l'amicizia, la conoscenza, la morte, il rapporto tra bene e male, tra umano e divino. Un'opera dal fascino eterno che racchiude un invito universale alla riscoperta e alla cura della spiritualità, in un incontro pacificato e attualissimo tra Occidente e Oriente. Con la sua voce eterea e contemplativa, le massime del profeta sono in grado ancora oggi di aprire squarci di saggezza sul senso nascosto della vita. In questa nuova traduzione della studiosa Layla Mustapha Ammar, lo spirito del poeta libanese torna a parlarci gettando un ponte tra le culture e le religioni, e travalicando con la forza del pensiero e della letteratura qualsiasi pregiudizio e confine.
